PROBABLE ANCESTORS OF MAN.

The discovery of the fossilised bones of 10 men who lived, perhaps, a million years ago, was recently announced in a message from Peking. This discovery was made near that city, in a cave which has already yielded very valuable anthropological treasures.

The most important item is a perfect skull, examination of which, it is held, shows that at so remote a period of the world’s history there existed on earth beings who had the power of thinking and who walked in an erect attitude.

According to the view taken hy scientific authorities at Peking, including’the distinguished Canadian, Dr. Davidson Black, who made important earlier discoveries at tile cave, the “Peking man” excels in antiquity all previous finds of the sort. This “Peking man,” in fact, is believed to be the direct ancestor of the present human family.
